Composers have long been inspired by nature, whether it's animals, landscapes, flowers or birdsong.
The latest project involving music inspired by our land, water, flora and fauna is an Auckland Arts Festival concert marking the centennial of conservation charity, Forest & Bird.
The concert's called Force of Nature and brings together new works by eight New Zealand composers. Peter Scholes is one of them and talks with Bryan Crump about the inspiration behind his piece, 'Widowmaker (The Falling)'.
